"*I have been working with Red Pen Wench for my college essays, AP test preps, speeches and debates, and general writing skills. So, ask me if you have any

questions!

Before I met Red Pen Wench, writing was never pleasant to me. However, after I met her, I found myself enjoying writing and receiving straight A's on my papers. As a national scholastic writing judge, she critiques my essays from the eyes of a grader (and it never fails). Sometimes, she catches a minor mistake in my writing even my English teachers miss. While preparing my essays for my AP exam, she taught me not only to write an excellent essay in a limited time, but also to get through the stressful time of my life. She truly made the process enjoyable.

In addition, I got help from different agencies for my college app before I met Jill and I wasn't satisfied with the services they provided. That's why I reached out RPW in the second semester of my senior year. First, unlike other agencies, she wanted to know more about me (e.g. what I like to do, what I want to do in the future, how all of hardships affected my life). She thinks everything is a part of college application; indeed, she taught me that "College app is a great opportunity to grow as an overall person". Surprisingly, I enjoy writing my college essays now.

Upon her coaching on countless essays, she advised me to have a positive attitude when I personally had a difficult time.

It is always my pleasure to work with her and I really appreciate her help."
